Mr Giovanni di Stefano of Italy complained that an article was inaccurate in its
claim that he was being investigated over allegations that he defrauded some of
his clients of £3 million. It also inaccurately suggested that he feared for
his life.

Resolution:

The complaint was resolved when the newspaper
published the following correction:

The story "Saddam
lawyer accused of £3m fraud on clients" (News, March 4) reported that Giovanni
di Stefano was being investigated over claims that he had defrauded some of his
clients of £3m. We have been asked to make clear that Mr di Stefano denies this
figure, but accepts that police have received a complaint from a client
regarding a dispute over £20,000. Mr di Stefano says he does not feel in fear
for his life due to his former clients.
